A charming, delightful new regency romance series from author on the rise, Anna Bennett! She needed a husband of convenience. She got her one true love instead.Miss Fiona Hartley’s huge dowry should have ensured that finding a husband would be quick. True, she’s a tad older than the average debutante, and spends too much time sketching brutally honest character portraits. She desperately needs a husband so she can access her dowry, lest the man blackmailing her reveals a secret that would ruin her family. So desperate in fact, that she’s willing to do the unthinkable-propose marriage to the most surly, irritable gentleman in town.As a matter of principle, David Gray, the Earl of Somerdale, avoids two types of women: those who are obviously desperate, and those who are stark-raving mad. And it soundly appears Miss Fiona Hartley is both. Yet David can’t help but be drawn to her, and gives her a test-if she can spend one week in his dilapidated estate-the same one that caused his previous fiancee to jilt him-then he’ll consider her proposal. But as the week goes on, Fiona’s refreshing wit finds a way into his heart. What started out as a marriage of convenience has turned into love…but will Fiona have him for the rest of her days?

What a girl wants
To survive her difficult childhood, Miss Hazel Lively relied on two things: a tough exterior and a love of books. Now, she’s realized her lifelong dream of opening a school for girls. She’s hoping the wealthy families who summer at the shore will
entrust their daughters to Bellehaven Academy–and help pay for less fortunate students. All Hazel must do is maintain a flawless reputation. It’s a foolproof plan … until a handsome earl strides into her office.
What an earl needs
Gabriel Beckett, Earl of Bladenton, has had a monstrous headache since the day his teenage niece became his ward. She’s already been expelled from two London schools, but Blade is determined to enroll her at Bellehaven Academy, where
she’ll be out of his hair. If only he can convince the buttoned-up–and unexpectedly intriguing–headmistress to take a risk.
Lead to an irresistible deal
Blade makes an offer that’s impossible for Hazel to refuse, but she has one condition: The earl must visit his niece every other week. Soon, Blade discovers there’s more to Hazel than meticulous lessons. Their sparring leads to flirtation …
and something altogether deeper. But the passion that flares between them poses a threat to Hazel’s school and Blade’s battered heart. They say a good thing can’t last forever, but true love? Well, it just might …

A fisherman’s daughter
Miss Poppy Summers is determined to keep her family’s fishing business afloat. Her poor widowed father has fallen ill, and her foolhardy brother has moved to London, leaving her precious little time to pursue her own dreams. The very last
thing Poppy needs to find tangled in her nets is a dangerously attractive man with a head wound–who claims he’s a duke.
And a duke out of water
Andrew Keane is the Duke of Hawking, but he’s having a devil of a time convincing his fiery-haired rescuer of that fact. The truth is, someone in Bellehaven wants to kill him, and he intends to find out who–if he can persuade Poppy to help him.
She’s wary of Keane’s scheme but can’t refuse the generous sum he offers in exchange for food and shelter while he recovers. It’s a business arrangement, she reasons … nothing more.
Are about to make waves
As Keane and Poppy work together to solve the puzzle of his attacker, unexpected feelings blossom between them. But Poppy’s past gives her every reason to mistrust someone like Keane, and when all the facts come to light, she must
decide where her loyalties lie. Torn between the world she’s always known and the one she’s always dreamed of, she’ll need to trust Keane for a chance at her fairy-tale ending.

Once upon a time in Anna Bennett’s When You Wish Upon a Rogue, three young ladies vowed to record their first London seasons and to fill in the gaps of their educations.
She knows what she wants.
Miss Sophie Kendall is happiest arranging the secret meetings of the Debutante Underground, a group of women who come together to discuss the weekly advice column The Debutante’s Revenge.
